What is Gyno-Daktarin?

Gyno-Daktarin is an antifungal cream that is proven to reduce symptoms within the first few days of infection. Primarily used for fungal infections in the vagina, Gyno-Daktarin is particularly effective at combating thrush, a condition that affects 75% of women in the UK at some point in their lives.

Thrush is extremely common as well as often recurrent, so Gyno-Daktarin is often used by women who have had thrush before. Moreover, you can use both Gyno-Daktarin cream and tablets such as Diflucan together.

How does Gyno-Daktarin work?

The active ingredient miconazole works by stopping the fungi in the genital region from producing ergosterol, which is a substance that is vital for the survival of the cells. Without ergosterol, the cell membrane begins to break down, making it vulnerable to other substances, which damage and then eventually kill the fungi.

In other words, by halting the progress of the fungus, Gyno-Daktarin allows your body to combat vaginal thrush. The miconazole cream also has the dual purpose of targeting certain bacteria that can also cause or worsen an infection.

What are the benefits of Gyno-Daktarin?

Treating thrush and reducing symptoms

Gyno-Daktarin (miconazole) can effectively treat the vaginal thrush infection whilst reducing the uncomfortable symptoms associated with it within days and this is often the only plus women need when it comes to thrush. The vaginal cream is designed to ease these symptoms, and the medication pack contains applicators so you can apply the cream inside your vagina cleanly and effectively. This is an especially popular medication for recurrent infections, as it can be used alongside other popular thrush medications like Diflucan.
